Characterization of Activated Carbon from Oil Palm Shell Prepared by H3PO4 for Procion Red Dye Removal
Abstract:
Characterization of activated carbon from oil palm shell prepared by H3PO4 and application for the removal of procion red dye was investigated. Oil palm shell was carbonized at 500°C and prepared by H3PO4 5 % with ratio of 1:3. Characterized activated carbon by Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer Emmet Teller (BET) surface area, Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X Ray Spectrometry (SEM-EDS). The result indicated that functional groups on the activated carbon surface were influenced by acidic treatment. The activated carbon have surface area 385.991 m2g-1 and volume of micro porous 0.201 cm3g-1. The SEM-EDS image showed that activated carbon have many porous structure and the strong peak of C was 92.7 %. Adsorption capacity of activated carbon prepared by H3PO4 5 % was 278.197 mg g-1 which is higher than not chemical activation was 216.456 mg g-1 at equilibrium time 5 h.
